Earlier this month, the city posted a statement to its website discussing grass growth, saying a lot of what they've seen this summer is because of a higher rainfall and changes to the mowing schedule.

"This year’s change to a 21-day schedule for parks, combined with the unusual late-summer precipitation, has contributed to higher growth of grass and weeds in some parks," read the statement.

A district coordinator for Councilman Carlos Flores, which covers much of the Northside area, said citizens with concerns need to contact the city directly, instead of simply posting to Facebook, which doesn't qualify as an actual complaint.

Cope says he heard later on Tuesday that city mowers could be out at Northside Park by week's end.
